IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR DRILLING AND PUMPING OIL-WELLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 207,506, dated August 27, 187R application filed May 27, 1878.

To all whomzt may concern: supported by a standard, I, and extending P '17 known that we, AMAsA lllNGLEY and at the other end over the well to be bored or AIIL six I. DINGLE Y, ollh'ooklyn, State ofl\' cw pumped. Y0rk,have invented a newand usel'nl Improve- The tools 3 are suspended from ,the end of ment in ll'lnehines for Drilling and lumping the beam 0, and a weight, E, constituting the Oil-Wells, of which the .ibllowing is a specilimotive power, propels theapparatus when the cation: worm. 'l" is moved out of gear by the lever It. The object of our invention is to utilize the This device is specially adapted for use usual derrieks to economically operate wells where a derrick has been employed for drili where it is desirable to avoid the expense of ing the well, thederrick then being utilized as steam-power; and this we effect by combining a means of raising a heavy weight to a great with the same devices fully described hereinheight, so that the power thus stored up can after, whereby the drilling or pumping tools be utilized at night or at times when manual may be operated by a weight suspended from power cannot be obtained or applied. a sheave on the derrick. The erection of a special derrick would be In the aceom ni-nying drawing, which forms expensive; but, combined with the devices set a part of this specification, Figure l is a side forth, the derricks already at hand can be utilelev'ation of our improved machine, and Fig. ized to great advantage. 2 is a plan view. W e do not claim the use of a descending A represents the usual derrick, having at weight as a motive power for this purpose; but the upper end a sheave, 1),over which a rope, We claim passes to a drum, B on a shaft carrying The combination of the derrick A, series of also a grooved wheel, B, and pinion B \Vith gears,beam O,havingits pitman operatedfrom the teeth of said pinion gears a worm, 1 which said gears, drum-shaft carrying the drum ll not onlyserves as aineansol' turning the drum, pulley l3, and pinion 13 rope (1, passing from but also locks the latter until removed out of the drum over a sheave, l), and provided with gear bymeans of the ad justable lever 1t, adapta weight, E, and worm F, adjustable by the ed to notehfls in a barge. n b lever It to and from the pinion B as specified.
